Last week (February 9) might have been #NationalPizzaDay but let’s be honest— every day is unofficial pizza day. If you’re anything like us and can’t get enough of the doughy, cheesy, tomatoey Italian dish that’s become an integral part of American culture, then chances are you’ve tried every pizza joint in town. We’re here to tell you that pizza should never be compared; from the flour used to the way it’s flipped to the piquancy of the sauce and the ingredients it’s topped with, no pie is created equal and each is its own edible work of art. Unless of course you’re tossing authentic style Neapolitan pies like Stanzione 87, and have some rules to adhere to in order to receive the brand mark from the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (a nonprofit organization that was founded in June 1984 in Naples to protect true Neapolitan pizza). Rules like using strictly San Marzano tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella from Campania, extra virgin olive oil, and the highest quality (double 00) dough. What’s more, all pizzas must be baked in a wood-fired, domed oven, and be no bigger and no smaller than 35 centimeters in diameter. Stanzione 87 checks off all these boxes and then some by going the extra mile, like hand making their mozzarella and capping pies off with some local and ethically bred smoked jowl (pig cheek that tastes like bacon) from Miami Smokers. With just a couple of months short of celebrating their four-year anniversary, business and life partners Franco and Ashley Stanzione have added a slew of pies, sandwiches, and salads to their menu, and we got to taste test the goods. Think spinach, garlic, and calabrian chili dubbed Angry Spinach for its kick of heat and a BLT pizza crowned with cherry tomato, lemon, butter lettuce, and smoky jowl for bite that’s earthy, citrusy, and smoky all at once. Red sauce and meat lovers ought to try the Red Smoke, which lets the jowl, San Marzano, mozzarella, and red onions speak for themselves, or the Meatball Panini that has everything you want in life (meatballs, tomato sauce, mozzarella, and arugula) sandwiched between the same wood-fired, blistering bread. The wonder sarnie was born—like most great ideas—one inebriated night when Franco and Ashley found themselves hangry and with nothing but leftover meatballs and mozzarella. You know what they say: necessity is the father of invention. There’s also a classic and mouthful Italian Sandwich, stacked with prosciutto cotto, San Daniele prosciutto, sopresata, and iceberg.

I have always been a fan of napolitan style pizza. Stanzione 87 has fantastic napolitan style pizza ,simply the best in Miami. It shows that they use authentic ingridients to make this pizza,like San Marzano tomatoes, which grow on the volcanic plains to the south of Mount Vesuvius and fresh basil. The pie was baked to perfection .You can make a great napolitan pizza only if you master three crucial elements,the dough,the toppings,and the baking. Topping a pizza is all about balancing the elements,and in here it is done correctly. This allows the pizza to be cooked evenly and quickly producing a combination of crispy chewy textures .Baking a pizza well requires the right tools: a very hot and stable oven and baking surface, a pizza peel of the right size, and a keen sense of timing. This is also done here to perfection. When you pay attention to all the details it definitely shows in the final product . This is a pizza to be savored immediately. The salads where fresh and imaginative. There are also several paninis in the menu The atmosphere is very casual,the service was fast and friendly. There is an adequate selection of wines at a very reasonable price.

Was in for lunch last week with a friend. Having spent a significant portion of my life in Italy I can attest for the pizza - on par with the best you can get, certainly in the Miami area. The restaurant itself is tastefully done with the wood burning oven the center piece, as it should be. Service was as good as it needs to be. For some reason when I was there the place was totally empty - which obviously is a bad sign. I hope this doesnt happen but I fear that the Brickell area may not be ready for this kind of pizzeria, and the location (right now) really is not good. Once they finish the giant mall, I suppose the location would improve - youre certainly not going to get any walk-in traffic until then. I really hope they make it although Im sure if they dont theres an arepa place or an Irish bar waiting in the wings. You can never have enough of those, right Brickell?

I was craving pizza with some friends so we decided to walk a few blocks to Stanzione 87. We went late but not too late so it wasnt very busy at the time. Needless to say, our server was friendly and attentive. The three of us shared a meat calzone and a salsiccia bianche pizza. Both were cooked well and tasty but not the best pizza Ive ever had. The calzone couldve had a little bit more cheese and the bianche pizza could have had more basil and been a little less salty. Overall, experience was solid and Id come again to eat their pizza. Keep in mind it is Neapolitan-style!

Ive been coming here for years, and I can honestly say - every other pizza that Ive had since has been inferior. Combine that with great service and great wine, and how can you go wrong? The restaurant itself is a charming, hole-in-the-wall type spot right next to City Centre on 8th street in Brickell. Prices are reasonable. On the less expensive end for comparable restaurants in the area, and honestly the quality is much better. If youre getting pizza (and why wouldnt you), I recommend the spicy salami or mais.

Weve been going for some years now but we just went Sunday night and I cant believe how out of this world the dough at Stanzione is. Its perfectly crisp on the outside and gooey on the inside. They just do a spectacular job, the food is delicious, the service is impeccable, and they are run by a great local team. Highly recommend them to tourists and locals alike. I live in the Gables but will go out of my way to eat here.

I ordered via Uber eats, the brussel sprouts pizza with pancetta and home made mozzarella. I was not impressed what so ever. Order arrived cold and soggy. The brussel sprouts were barely there, it was just the leaves of it, deleafed brussels, to perhaps combine 2 full brussels...and there were 3 or 4 pieces of pancetta in the middle of the pie. Not a fan of this place.

We had a wonderful pizza. We had a awesome conversation with our waiter who is from Italy. He was very attentive. Our pizza was made with fresh ingredients. We will return on our next Miami trip. We will also go back to Italy! !

Food is great, but service needs to be improved. Their phone was off the hook for 20 minutes, I finally walked over there and they realized it. Also took a lot of time to serve us and attitude could have been better.
